Summary: Get your money's worth in one day
Comment: I just finished a trip to Wyoming and Montana for 2 weeks and was impressed with the utility of this book. I did a mix of camping and staying in hotel rooms, and this book did an excellent job of listing the hotels in each town and the prices. Several times, after I finished some hiking/camping, I looked in this book for nearby towns and went to a town and hotel that the authors listed as being good, but inexpensive. No need to go to Holiday Inn anymore! For the bigger towns, they list only the more recommended hotels - I made the mistake of stopping at one hotel off the highway that was not listed in this book, but was cheap, and ended up at some dive. --- Hey, learn from my lesson.
I also used the book very broadly to review my options for where to go hiking - I had previously gone to all the National Parks in the region and wanted to go to the national forests this time. I picked out the Bighorn Mountains/Cloud Mountain Wilderness from the description in this book, and liked it. (Note that it only gives a broad description of attractions, I also bought a topo map and trail guide once I got to the Bighorn Mountains). It appears that all attractions (restaurants, bars, hotels, various cultural attractions)are listed similarly.
This is an exceptionally informative and organized book.

Summary: A Norsemans Journey to Rocky Mountains
Comment: I had the opportunity last year to visit the Rockie mountains. Mainly Colorado and a fast trek throught or should I say to Montana. Having bought Lonely Planets books on both Australia and South Africa earlier (trips that didn't come to fruition, yet) and also having enjoyed some of the tv programs from the same people I thought this would be the best bet for my trip. And it sure was. Now most of my stay in this erea was in Denver so maybe I could have just bought a book on Denver, but as much as I enjoy travel books they tend to be a bit expencive and this offered more value to me. An the books offers more than adequate information on Denver and it's immideate surroundings. Later on the book gave me what information I needed during my brief stay in Montana. The book also informed well about the strain of arriving in the Mile High City (Denver) when you are a lowland dweller, so it didn't come as a shock. Good thing that ! I'm going back to this region of the US, you can count on that and this book will come along on the next trip as well.
